I didn't even know that you could import 3ds files with Papervision... Any example?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 10:37 AM, andysk8er <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:elbarto37@yahoo.com">elbarto37@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hey everyone,<br>
It seems like everyone here uses the collada (DAE) format for importing<br>
their models. Collada is nice because it's a (theoretically) universal<br>
format, but it has a lot of overhead because it is an XML format. In a<br>
recent test, I created a car model and exported it in both formats: DAE and<br>
3DS. The results are:<br>
<br>
car.3DS = 64.3K<br>
car.DAE = 311K<br>
<br>
The 3DS format will obviously save me a lot of loading time, but does the<br>
3DS format perform any better once it has been imported? I have noticed that<br>
most of the sample SWFs (in both PV3D and Away3D) that import high-poly<br>
models use the 3DS format instead of the DAE. Has anyone run a performance<br>
test? If not, maybe I will do it.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Andy<br>
